Ohio Republicans have adopted
a platform which hits the nail on the
head every time. There is not a
dodge in it. 1t plants the party
squarely on every live question Of
the day.
Beginning appropriately with the
tariff and giving special attention to
wool, it protests againsr unrestIict'
ed immigration and takes strong
ground on the correlated question Of
the disfranchisement OF a large body
of laboring citizens in the South.
It offers no apologies for favoring
liberal pensions to the veterans Of
the Union cause, and the comments
on the Presidents vetoes will touch
the chord of sympathy in every
soldiers heart.
1t advocates the repeal of the in
ternai revenue tax on tobacco. This
is well so far as it goes, but while
that tax is being abolished Congress
should 60 further and wipe out thu
whole internal Revenue establish
ment. The country does not need
the revenue thus derived, which
hurts rather than helps American
industries,

THE CHURCH AEDTHE TOILER.

The labor question, in Its various
phases, is, above all others, the ques-
ton Of the day. 1t concerns bust
ness men, and politicians and pro.
fessional men, and above all, If they
are true to their beliefs, it concerns
the churches. When one looks at it,
and around it, on all sides of it, and
into it, here is an appalling fact:
the church has little or no hold on
the workingman. Is this state Of
affairs right Is it creditabe to the
churches 7 Are they carrying out
their ostensible mission when they
practically confne tneir labors to
the well.to do among the population :
To such questions there can be but
one answer. The history Of the
church in all ages; the words and
deeds of its Divine founder; its
creeds and confessions-eyerything
/ It holds sacred bind it to proclaim
the gospel to the poor. Why has it
not, why does it not, do this, It's
bounden dutyF In general, the
churches are coming more and more
to be popularity understood as re-
presenting the comfortable and
wealthy classes. The pulpit is sup
posed to hold a brief for capital.
And il there are not causes, there
are at least occasions, for this des-
tructive suspicion. When these are
removed the church will have no
reason to complain Of lack Of infiu-
ence over the men who earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow.

PROTECTIVE COUNTRIES.

The United States, France, GEL
many and Brazil. England was
strongly protective until she had
built up her manufacturing indus
tries to such a degree that she
thought herself the workshop Of
the world" and had'no need longer
of protection, and then she was will
ing to throw open her ports free to
all nations who would send grain to
feed her workmen. This was in the
second decade of Victoria's reign. in
1916, when the "corn laws " were
repealed. She does not think free
trade "good thing" for Ireland,
but has, as she did in our colonial
condition, thrown every restriction
around the manufactures Of that
country, and has succeeded in COM
pletely destroying them. Nor is
their perfect unanimity on the qnes-
ton at home or in her colonies
There is Fair Trade" party,
small but growing, who are clamor-
ing loudly for a return to protection,
and Canada in 1879, and Victoria in
1874, adopted the protection system.
Indeed, all the nations Of Europe
and elsewhere have been obliged to
adopt the protective policy, in at.
tempting to establish a diversified
industry for their peoples. Such
free traders as Adam Smith, Say,
Blanqni, Rossi, Chevalier, John
Stuart Mill and Henry Sidgwick
admit this necessity. The Anglo.
French treaty of 1860 indicated the
period of the height of free-trade sen.
timent, but since 1861 both France
and Germany have returned to the
protection policy, and, according to
the London Times, " a wave of pro.
tectionist feeling seems to be sweep
ing round the world Manning,
the Secretary of the Treasury of a
Democratic administration, says
mo man now living will ever see
freetrade adopted by these United
States IN their commerce with for.
eign nations." Report, 1886.

II the triumph of Home Rule, by
an unfortunate fatality, should be
much longer delayed, the state Of
things in Ireland will be very seri-
Gus. The continual drain to foreign
lands of the flower of the peasantry
of both sexes must in time produce
its effect upon the average mental
and physical qualities Of those who
are left. AS the hardy, energetic
and youthful 20 oil, the unenterpris-
ing, old, weak and infrm will be left
behind, and will constitute an abb
normally large proportion Of the
total population. The . classes y in
England are likely to congratulate
themselves upon the prospect; for,
as Ireland decreases in population,
and the ratio of those capable of do
ing either effective labor or effective
fighting becomes lower, the task of
maintaining the ascendancy win, it
may be claimed, become easier and
easier. Easier would it become
were it not for those American Irish
whom the classes aforesaid so cordi-
ally hate, and so bitterly denounce.
Ia this country there are four mil
lions and half Of Irishmen and
their children. In Canada there
are another million, and in Australia
from a-half to three-quarters of a
million. These millions beyond the
sea, outnnmbering all the present
inhabitants OF Ireland, are, today,
the foes with which Great Britain
has to deal, and they are beyond
her reach, and able and willing to
maintain to the end the struggle in
behalf of their oppressed brethren IN
the old home who, without their aid,
might soon become unable to longer
resist.

POWDER IGNITED BY LIGHTNING.

fr sN
| On the 21st Of July, at 2:30 A. NJ,
at Streator, ILL.,, a mining town, q
stroke of lightning struck the pow
der in the powder house Of the
Chicago, Wilmington and Vermil-
lion Coal Co., located half q mile
from the center of the town. Ten
tons of powder were instantly ex-
ploded with disastrous results. Fifty
buildings were demolished; but only
one person was killed-struck when
asleep by flying brick. Many peo-
pie were slightly injured.
A terrific peal of thunder was FOL
lowed by q rocking and swaying OF
the earth and a sweeping rush of air
which made buildings ,totter on
their foundations as on the crest
of a seismic wave.
Brick and debris vera hurled in
all directions for several hundred
yards With such violence rs to pene-
trate the walls of buildings, and
dwellings nearly a quarter of a mile
from the scene of the explosion were
riddled as if by grape and canister,
The greatest damage, however, was
done BY the concussion of air. A
row of dwellings 100 yards away
were crushed into kindling wood. II
seemed as if the atmosphere exerted
its strength in a downward direc.
ton, and crushed the buildings to
the earth. .5so, 4

EVEN THIS SHALL PASS AWAY

Once in Persia reigned a king Z.
Who upon his signet-ring
Graved maxim true and wise.
Which. if held before his eyes,
Gave him counsel at a glance
Fit for every change and chance:
Solemn words, and these are they :
Even this shall pass away
Trains of camels through the sand
Brought him gems from Samarcand
Fleet of galleys through the seas,
Brought him pearls to match with these
But he counted not his gain
Treasures of the mine or main:
.What is wealth ?'' the King would

In the revels of his court
At the zenith of the sport,
When the palms of all his guests
Burned with ciapping at his jests,

Groaning from his tortured side.

" But with patience, day by day,
Even this shall pass away"
Towering in the public square,
Twenty cubits in the air,
Rose his statue carved in stone
Then the King, disguised, unknown,
Stood before his sculptured name,

Fame is but slow decay
Even this shall pass away"
Struck with palsy, sere and old
Waiting at the Gates of Gold.

Then, in answer to the King,
Fell a sunbeam on his ring,
Showing by heavenly ray,

SELECTIONS.
A BULL AND A GRIZZLY.
AWFUL COMBAT DESCRIBED BY
AN EYEWITNESS UP A TREE.

6" suppose the bull started to-
ward the thicket to get a drink at
the waterhole, but he never got the
drink. / saw him push his way in
to the thicket, and the next instant
I could see that he had got into
I trouble of some kind, and that
trouble proved to be grizzly bear.
A fierce struggle followed in the
thicket. The tops of the bushes
swayed to and fro, and could hear
the heavy crash of driftwood as the
two powerful animals writhed in
fierce embrace. A, cloud of dust
rolled up from the spot. 1t was not
distant over 100 yards from the tree
in which / had taken refuge.
Scarcely two minutes elapsed be.
fore the bull broke through the
bushes. His head was covered with
blood, and great flakes of flesh hung
from his fore shoulders. But In
stead of showing any signs of de-
feat he seemed literally to glow with
defiant rage. But scarcely had 1
time to note all this when the bear,
huge, repulsiye-looking brute,
broke through the opening. He
was the most formidable specimen
Of his kind had ever seen, and my
sympathies were at once with the
bull, in spite of his belligerent atti-
tude toward me few minutes be.
fore, but l had my serious doubts
about the final result of the combat
that began at once.
"That combat was trial of brute
force that no words of mine are
adequate to describe. When the
bear made his appearance out of the
thicket the bull did not wait for his
contestants charge, but lowering
his great head to the ground he
rushed madly upon the bear. The
latter seemed to appreciate the abil-
tiles of the bull and summoned all
the wariness of his nature to his aid.
He waited until the bull was almost
upon him and then sprang aside
with marvellous quickness, seized
his assailant's horns in his power
ful grasp aud pressed his head down
against the ground by his great
strength and the weight of his enor-
nous body, biting at the bulls nose
and tearing the flesh from his neck
and shoulders with his long, sharp
claws. This position was maintain
ed for at least five minutes, the bull
struggling desperately to free his
head, but being unable to accom-
plish it, while the bear put forth
every muscle to press the bulls body
to the ground. The blood poured
from the bulls nostrils in great
streams, but the bear had as yet re.
ceiyed no apparent injury.
THE BEAR woRsTED.
Presently both animals paused
IN their desperate struggle, as each
was blowing and rapidly approaching
exhaustion. The bear did not re.
lax the hold he had obtained on his
contestant. AS yet during the fight
neither animal had uttered a sound
except their loud and iabored
breathing. The cessation in the
struggle had probably been of ten
minutes duration when suddenly
the bull made one tremendous lunge
broke the motionless but terrible
embrace, hurled the bea: from of
his head and hacked away probably
ten PAGES. The bear lifted his huge
torn OIL bis launches and stood
ready for the next assault. Tht

THE GRIZZLY CONQUERED.

The grizzly had no sooner aban-
doned his attack on the bull than
the latter was on his feet, bearing
himself us erect and fierce as ever.
II the bears appearance was sicken-
ing, the bulls was doubly so. He
was covered with blood from his
forehead to his rump, and his flesh
and skin actually hung in strips and
and tatters from his head and from
his sides. Giving his head a
shake that scattered blood in a
shower about him, and gave HIM a
moments sight of the reeking bea:
in front of him, he lowered his head
for the fourth time, and again made
one of his terrific charges. When the
dying bear had dragged himself
away from the bull the eagles actual
~ swooped down upon him and the
wolves sprang from the thicket into
the opening and prepared to pounce
upon him. The bull scattered the
impatient birds and animals as he
swept on his final charge against
the grizzly, and they hastily depart
ed, shrieking and snarling. The
cattle again added their believing
to that of the bnll's, and acted as il
! they understood the favorable turn
